The Tareen (or Tarin) (Template:Lang-ps) is a Pashtun tribe inhabiting southern Afghanistan, and western region of Pakistan.

History

Much of the tribe continues to live in their native lands in the southern parts of Afghanistan and Pishin, Harnai and dukki in Baluchistan, Pakistan. During the reign of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1628 to 1658) a group of Tareen/Tarin emigrated to the area which is now the Hazara area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. The Tareen Chiefs resisted the Sikh occupation of Hazara region which resulted in their properties/ land being usurped by Sikh armies.

Branches (Clans)

Tareen had 4 sons namely: Tor(black), Spin, Aspin or Speen(white),zhar(yellow) and Awdal/Bor Tareen/Abdali(brown). Their descendants today have adopted the names above as tribal identities and are known as Tor Tareen, Spin Tareen, Zhar Tareen and Bor Tareen. These four major clans are further divided into smaller units including Raisani,Durrani, achakzai, popalzai, alkozai, muhammadzai, barakzai, ishaqzai Noorzai, sadozai and other Toor Tareen, spin Tareen and zharh tareen sub sections.

Languages

The principal languages of Tareen are Tareeno and Pashto and Urdu Punjabi in Pakistan.

Location

Tareens primarily live in Pishin, Dukki, Loralai, Quetta, Mastung, and Harnai districts of Balochistan, while smaller populations are spread all over the province.

In Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, the tribe has 'Tareen Vand' in Mardan. In Haripur, a number of Tareen families claim to have settled there since 1600s, after migrating mainly from Pishin and Kandahar.
